Problems with album artwork with 11.0.4

I have iTunes installed on Windows 7.
2 problems...
#1 -- I accidently deleted artwork from an album (the artwork was originally retrieved from iTunes using earlier version). When I try to retrieve the artwork from iTunes again, absolutely nothing happens. Even if I select all of my albums and select Get Album Artwork, the request ends almost immediately with no messages of any kind. I am definitely logged in.
#2 -- in the albums view, I don't see any artwork at all unless I click on an album. The view is just terrible. Nothing but a bunch of squares with the musical note. Surely this can't be intentional? How can I fix it?

Hi. The artwork cache has become corrupt and needs to be rebuilt. Connect your iPod, on the summary tab uncheck the option to include artwork, sync the ipod, reselect the artwork option, and sync again.

  • Problem viewing album artwork on video ipod

    My problem is that I'm unable to view album artwork on my ipod in full screen, whether it's from the itunes store or if I copy/paste an album cover pic myself. You can see the artwork fine on the left next to the song/artist/album, it's just blank when you want to see it full screen. The thing is that my ipod is Windows formatted and this has only been happening since I got a Mac and have been doing all my itunes/ipod stuff on it. I wanna know if this is normal for a Windows formatted ipod on a Mac or if there is a way to fix this (without formatting it to Macintosh) because all my other songs with artwork that I synced with Windows show up fine in full screen view. Please let me know. Thanks.

    After you added the album work to your songs, did you import or re-import those songs to the IPOD?

  • Problems displaying album artwork

    for some reason, my video ipod won't display some of the album artwork from itunes. it shows the downloaded song artwork and some other songs, but not others (like when i import one of my CD's and the itunes library automatically finds the album artwork). they aren't in a weird format or anything. the album artwork shows up on the itunes library and even shows up on my nano, but no the video. anybody know why or know a way to fix it?
    thanks.

    How are you adding the artwork to the songs?
    You should try adding the artwork to the songs in
    iTunes first, not directly to the songs on the iPod
    (through iTunes).
    If you add artwork directly to the iPod, the artwork
    is sometimes not displayed when playing songs.
    See also: My artwork is missing.
    i add the artwork in itunes--not my ipod (or itunes automatically adds artwork when i upload some cds), but when i manually add the song from itunes to my ipod, it either loses the artwork (doesn't show in ipod on itunes) or it keeps it (i can see the album artwork in itunes), but does not show up on my ipod when disconnected from itunes.
    i read the article u posted and i can't delete every song i manually uploaded cuz they were all manually uploaded (i have ~600 songs on it so far). i don't chose automatic because as soon as i add the songs to my ipod, i delete them from my itunes library to save space on my computer.
    sometimes the artwork shows up, sometimes it doesn't. i tried to find out why some do and some don't, but i don't see a pattern.

  • IPod Syncing Problem for Album Artwork

    So everytime I try to sync my iPod Touch using iTunes,most of the artwork for my albums/songs changes. I've had this happen several times in the past. It seems that many albums take the artwork from one album.

    When I try to check the "Display album artwork" box and update my ipod, I get this error message:
    The iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50).

  • Problems displaying album artwork in iTunes 7

    Hi. I just upgraded to iTunes 7 and a lot of the artwork I have dilligently searched for and attatched to all of my albums over the past few years, with older versions of iTunes, are messed up. Some are missing and some others aren't being displayed properly. I've already been through a fix for the distorted audio playback (so far so good!) and was wondering if I have to find all new artwork or is there a fix for this, also? Thanks!

  • Problems with adding album artwork

    Yesterday I started having problems adding album artwork. My Get Album Artwork button does not work when I try to use it and when I manually try to add album artwork it adds it but it comes up black. I'd really like to get this problem solved so if you could help me that'd be great. Thanks!

  • Problems with album artwork

    I import a lot of CDs into my iPod. When I rip the CD, it simultaneously is converted to .MP3. Often iTunes tells me it can't find the album artwork. This is a mystery because if I import the CD using Windows Media player, the artwork will show up on thumbnail view but it doesn't always carry into iTunes. For a variety of reasons, I sometimes have to use Windows Media Player for ripping because my CD/DVD drive sometimes conflicts. HOWEVER, I have had the problem even when ripping new CDs directly into iTunes quite recently. Last night I purchased a CD, ripped it with Windows Media Player and then imported. No artwork showed up. I tried searching for it and was told iTunes could not find it which makes no sense because the CD can be purchased via iTunes Store. Again, this also happens sometimes when ripping via iTunes (which is programmed to tell me of updates and I always do that so it's not a case of old version of iTunes).
    Any thoughts would be helpful. This is totally annoying.

    I suspect the iPod uses artwork from it's own cache rather than the one embedded in the media file. Sometimes the incorrect/black artwork can be fixed simply by removing & then resyncing the affected album, but occasionally all this does is create a problem elsewhere. In these cases unchecking the option to include artwork, syncing, then reselecting the artwork option & syncing again usually does the trick, as if forces iTunes to completely rebuild the artwork cache on the iPod.

  • Problems with Album Artwork on v7,01

    I have recntly downloaded V7.0.1 and got all excited when I could retrieve all album artwork, I did this and it now shows in my itunes. the problem is when I come to transfer that to to my ipod - It has transferred the pictures as far a artists begnning with A. Midway through the transfer I get this message -
    'The Ipod (alan's ipod) cannot be updated. An unknown error occured. (-50)'
    any help would be appreciated.

    in this context, that one is usually associated with damaged album art files.
    are you able to identify which album art it is always quitting on? if so, if you delete that particular bit of album art, does the sync go through properly without the -50?

  • Multiple problems with itouch (including apps, album artwork and play count

    ok I just got a 32 gb itouch...
    And so far it's been nice. But recently three problems are occuring:
    1 normally, when you're in music and you put the iPod horizontally, you should see the album artwork. However, for me, most of the album artwork is simply black. Also, sometimes, when the album is selected during this process it is black while when it is in the list in the backround, you can see it. So there are general problems with that.
    2 sometimes my apps don't work, while sometimes they do. It's not just one app, it happens to all my bought apps (not to the ones that were there when I goi the iPod, however)
    3 everytime I connect to my computer, I loose all my play count. I have this situation so far: I played about 8 song from my iPod while it was connected to my pc. After that I put a top 25 smartlist. Later that day I listened to a nother album. In the evening I checked the smartlist, and on it were songs that I never played. Also I looked at my music under devices, and I put in order from most played to least, and on top were the song that I listened to while I had my iPod connect to the computer, and no the album I listened to later.
    Please help me. I love listening to my iPods, and I just got this cool iPod, so please help me before I get a negative attitude towards the itouch.
    Many thanks for you comprehention,
    Michas

    Well what your describing is a reboot of the iPod, not a real restore.
    Here's the break down, just so you know.
    1. Reboot, Hold down the power button and Home button, till the white apple appears, no data loss, just reboots the IPT.
    2. In the IPTs general settings, at the bottom is a reset button, which allows you to reset some or all of the settings on the IPT.
    3. A restore is done in iTunes and wipes the entire IPT of contents and restores the IPT to factory settings.

  • Problems with album artwork and configuration with the last iTunes version

    hello,
    Since the latest version of iTunes, it is not possible to remove the manually added albums illustrations. The method is to put it more laborious because it is necessary that the image is on the computer. We can not make a copy and paste from Google Image to insert an album artwork in the song changes tab.
    Also when synchronizing to an Ipod Touch 5 or 6+ iPhone, illustrations may appraissent where its just the element that is not imported.
    Thank you for your help

    The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • Problems With Showing Album Artwork On The ipod

    I tried to look in the support pages, everywhere, and i asked here, but it didn't help.
    my ipod wont show album artworks.
    when i try:
    Edit-Preferences-ipod-music
    and mark the 'Display album artwork on your ipod',
    and then OK, it shows me an error window:
    'The ipod cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50).'
    I don't know what to do, please help me.
    I have an ipod nano 4GB
    and a PC computer, Windows XP,
    if that can help you...
    Thanks alot.

    I found the problem.
    You have to display the album artwork in your itunes
    library before you transform the song to the ipod.
    Then, it will show.
    thanks for helping .
    Ella L, can you elaborate on what you mean (and the steps to take) because I've got the same error message as you had and now some tracks show album artwork, some don't, some show the wrong ones, etc.
    Thanks.

  • Problems with album artwork in album section of the music app

    So I have all of the album artwork for my music, and they all show whenever I play each individual one and when I view the album. But when I'm just scrolling through the albums on my phone, they don't show unless I tap on them. This bugs me as a perfectionist! Here is what I mean...
    Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Delete the affected music from your iPhone and sync it back from from iTunes on your computer. You can delete music by swiping across the title and pressing the red Delete.

  • I'm having a problem with album artwork

    The artwork displays correctly on my iPod/iPhone/iTunes but it shows the wrong artwork in Album view. I've circled the correct artwork in green and the incorrect artwork in red. I've tried many things but nothing seems to fix it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
    I'm using iTunes 11.0.1

    Hi,
    Is the correct album artwork the same on all tracks. If not, you can change the wrong artwork to the correct one.
